I was supposed to see Thao with the Get Down Stay Down last year at Houston's Orange Show, but their opening set for Xiu Xiu was rained out, and never rescheduled. Unfortunately I had to wait almost a full year to finally catch the act when they took the stage at Austin's Parish Room during SXSW in the spring. I was incredibly impressed with the amount of energy front-woman Thao Nguyen brings to her live performance, and was immediately in need of another live experience from her and her backing band, the Get Down Stay Down. That need was soon cured by the fine folks at Warehouse Live, when they booked the group for a showcase in their smaller room, The Studio.
